Developer Pat Gillespie hopes his plans to construct two 120,000 square foot buildings overlooking the Lansing Lugnuts minor league baseball stadium in Downtown Lansing will draw out-of-state corporations to Lansing.
The Ballpark North development will include what Gillespie refers to as two “six-
story corporate pads” where businesses can put their headquarters.
“Now all of a sudden we have a couple of exciting pad sites to market around the country,” Gillespie says. “It just gives businesses another reason to come to Lansing.”
The buildings may also be used for residential or other commercial use. Gillespie has already been contacted by a day spa that wants 14,000 square feet for its proposed Downtown retreat.
Gillespie’s goal is to get the project moving by late 2008 or early 2009. He estimates the investment to hit $22-26 million.
